Slippery When Wet at Clyde Theatre

21St Century Classic Rock & Post Punk Slippery When Wet has been honored by The 4th brigade of the Fort Drum, NY 10th Mountain Division, 4/25 Field Artillery A Battery, requesting their CDs "Motel Boy" and "Like A Phoenix" for moral support while patrolling the deserts in Iraq. Slippery When Wet is more than just another rock & roll and blues band, it is the offspring of fate. After years of drifting around from band to band, Linda in Chicago and the Phoenix area, Von Shadow in his native Arizona, and never finding quite the right combination of musicians, both wearily packed away their dreams. Ironically, they had crossed paths before, but were involved with different bands, never played together and lost track of each other. But it was surely Kismet because ten years later they ran into each other at a book store and within two years they were married, playing and composing If you are a hard core classic 70s and 80s party rock garage music style fan, Slippery When Wet will satisfy your deepest cravings. Linda's cool, melodic voice has plenty of attitude and possesses a uniqueness all her own. Her solid rhythms provided by a classic roaring 79 Les Paul is the perfect backdrop for the colorful, leads of Count Von Shadow's vintage 1980 Flying Vee and this band will transport you to a universe of rock manna. If you are a music purist who appreciates genuine guitar technique and the live sound,, this band is for you because they uses no effect pedals and does not overdub vocals. 21St Century Classic Rock™ for fans of Blondie, ZZ Top, Poison, The Pretenders, Heart, AC/DC, Patti Smith, Joan Jett, Mary Weiss, KISS, and every classic rock band you've even known and loved.
